Mail-Order Cinderella

The story most likely wouldnt happen to anyone. That is what makes the book so good. When you read the book your transfered into there story. The book was so good I didnt want to put it down I couldnt wait to find out how it was going to end. I have read almost all of the series and found this one to be the one I most enjoyed. I cant say enough good things about it. If you want a good book you have found one.

Although it stretches the imagination to think this could happen with a video dating service, I enjoyed Tyler and Julie's story. It is a fun read and I finished it one sitting. I highly recommend this book.

Tyler Fortune has been delivered an ultimatum. He must marry and settle down before he is thirty or lose his inheritance. Knowing his father is not in the habit of making idle threats, Tyler concedes that he must marry and that he hasn't much time. He is determined, however, that if he is to marry, he will choose his bride. Through a video matchmaking service, he comes across Julie Ann Parker, a plain-Jane shy librarian whom he feels would be easily controlled and who wouldn't make a lot of demands on him. But when he meets Julie, he senses that there is much more spirit to her than she lets on. Still, he is convinced that she would suit him and he could give her what she wants. Julie knows that as a plain librarian, she is no catch. She can't conceive of a reason why someone as handsome and wealthy as Tyler Fortune would want to marry her when he could have his pick of ladies to choose as a wife. He cannot be steered from his conviction that she is right for him. This is a steady continuation of the ongoing Fortune's Children series, which began again last month. Though there is nothing really spectacular about this modernized incorporation of a classic fairy tale, Jensen's writing and characterizations are strong enough to carry this story to a satisfactory ending. The author makes it a point to spend much of the novel illustrating how Tyler and Julie get to know each other by sharing their dreams and sharing a life. Because of this development, it becomes impossible for Tyler to pull away from her emotionally. Julie falls fast in love with Tyler because he is honorable and because he is genuinely concerned that she not be hurt. With Tyler, Julie opens up and reveals more of the spirit and vivacity that she expresses when it comes to what she loves.
